After using a little trick, Xiao Chengzhi was seriously injured, but Tie Lezhen was not very proud, and he didn't even take the opportunity to turn around and take his life. Because as a great Khan on the grassland, he knew very well. Compared with whether he could wipe out the main force of the Vietnamese army in this battle, the life and death of a general was really worth mentioning.

So at the moment when Xiao Chengzhi was dismissed, he had decisively turned around and rushed forward quickly. The knife was raised and fell, and several infantry soldiers who wanted to block his way died on the spot, but even his steps could not stop the upper part.

At this time, the Vietnamese infantry in front were fighting against the Guirong army that was constantly rushing towards them. The chaos in the future naturally made them feel busy. Not only did they fail to stop the hundreds of cavalry led by Tie Lezhen from rushing out, but the enemy in front also rushed out again, killing and injuring many.

However, the Vietnamese army was not concerned about these things at this time. Under the orders conveyed by the central army, they no longer defended their lives, but began to move to the right. In order to try their best to resist the enemy's offensive, they finally used crossbows and shot straight towards the enemy with waves of arrows, not asking for killing the enemy, but only trying to stop them for a while.

Originally, in such bad weather, the crossbow had lost 80% of its damage. Even if it was used, it would be blown towards the uncertain cold wind and was blown to the extreme. Therefore, since the beginning of the battle, the two armies had never used the crossbow.

But now, in order to try to hold the enemy's footsteps, the Vietnamese army did not care about losses. Arrows continued to fire like money, and after tens of millions of arrows flew out, tens of millions of more.

In the case of insufficient quality, the huge number finally made up for it. The Guirong cavalry in front could not bear it anymore. After hundreds of people were shot and thousands were shot and dropped, their blocking momentum still paused.

Even though Tie Lezhen had already rushed back to his own formation and kept commanding them to launch an offensive, the offensive of the Guirong people was still weak. On the one hand, the spirit of the Guirong people's initial battle had begun to decline with the continued battle. On the other hand, it was because the patriarchs and generals of other tribes who were commanding the battle in front were retained.

The reason why this battle was started was Wang Hui's plan, which was the strong appeal of Tielezhen and the current dangerous situation of the grassland tribes. Because everyone knows that if we can no longer unite and make this decisive battle, we are afraid that the grassland tribes will be wiped out by this Vietnamese army.

Therefore, even after the previous defeat, the prestige of the Khan of the Tielzhen Grassland was shaky and the tribes became divided. At this time, they were forced to unite and were willing to obey his orders and fight with the Vietnamese army again.

But at this time, seeing that their family had the upper hand and it seemed only a matter of time to wipe out the Vietnamese army, these tribe leaders developed selfishness again. Since it was a matter of time to destroy the enemy, why should they work so hard? If all the warriors of their own clan fought, when the crisis on the grassland passed, wouldn’t their entire tribe become fat at the mouths of other tribes?

So at this critical moment, under the order that Tielezhen forced the order to stop the retreat of the Vietnamese army, the attacks of the Guirong tribes became weaker.

Although there were some obstacles, as long as the Vietnamese army rushed and killed for a while, they would quickly make a way out and allow the entire Vietnamese army to continue to go west.

As for the cavalry that attacked the Vietnamese army from the rear, the Vietnamese army that had been vacated to reorganize their troops to fight and they also repelled them.

In this way, a strange scene finally happened - although the Vietnamese army was still trapped under the two sides of the Guirong cavalry, they were able to move sideways smoothly, and as time went by, they were less and less attacks.

The Guirong soldiers on both sides followed them all the way to the west, just like escorting them. If someone could see this scene from the air, they would only think that this was a whole army with poor military discipline and a little messy...

Tie Lezhen naturally had seen the minds and thoughts of those guys, and was even more annoyed. But in this way, even he could do nothing. Even if he angrily killed a few patriarchs of a certain tribe who refused to obey orders, he might not be able to change the status quo, but would really disrupt his own morale.

So he could only accept it. Fortunately, judging from the current situation, even if the Vietnamese army really retreated to the mountain there, their situation might not be much better. At that time, as long as he led his army to surround the hill, he would not even have to spend Li Ling to attack, he would be able to trap and kill tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops on the mountain by cutting off water and food.

This was a long retreat, from the evening of the previous day to noon of the next day, the army could only climb up the mountain. At this time, both the generals of the enemy and us were exhausted. Because before that, the two sides had been fighting for a day, and even the iron-killed men, after a day of fighting and half a day of fighting, they were already at the end of their strength.

So when the Yue army really went up the mountain and defended it, the Guirong army stopped attacking fiercely, but dug up gullies along the mountain and set up formations, trapping them on this small hill that was only more than twenty feet high.

It was not until this time that the leaders of both sides had the opportunity to investigate their own injuries in this battle.

After asking, Sun Bi was shocked: "After tens of thousands of casualties... more than ten generals were lost?" It turned out that this battle was so miserable, and even Xiao Chengzhi... When he thought of this, he couldn't help but look back at Xiao Chengzhi who was placed on a stretcher not far away, with a pale face and a coma, and his heart was even tighter.

Tie Lezhen made the choice that made Xiao Chengzhi save his life. When other Guirong cavalry wanted to kill Xiao Chengzhi who was unconscious while taking advantage of the chaos, the Vietnamese army hurriedly rescued with all their might. Finally, after paying some price, he snatched the people back and sent them back to the Central Army.

After seeing Xiao Chengzhi's severely injured arm, Sun Bi was also surprised. However, the battle situation was dangerous at that time, and he didn't care too much. It was not until this time that the army was temporarily safe that he cared about his cousin's situation. It seemed that Xiao Chengzhi, who was seriously injured in the broken arm, had completely lost the ability to fight again. He had to ensure his safety, otherwise he would really not be able to go back and explain to his uncle.

"Master, what should we do next?"

At this time, an uneasy voice sounded from the side, making Sun Bi come to his senses. Now is not the time to explain. The most important thing now is to guard this mountain and then...

He suddenly cheered up his spirits and said, "Spread the troops and guard all the roads up the mountain. You must not give Guirong people any opportunity to take advantage of! Also, how much food do we have and other necessary supplies in the army?"

"Grain... there should be only five days left in the grain. As for tents and other things, they have been discarded along the way, but the medicine and other things are still there..."

"Then let's treat the injured soldiers first. If there are no injuries or minor injuries, just make a fire and cook. Everyone should eat enough to keep their energy in full." Sun Bi said, and coughed again, "Also, send people to log wood on the mountain to make fire to keep warm, especially those wounded, and must not let them starve and freeze!"

The head coach's calm order made the soldiers feel a little calmer and quickly agreed to follow the order.

It was not until this time that everyone realized how harsh the surrounding environment was. It was no safer to be trapped here than to fight head-on with tens of thousands of Guirong cavalrymen.

Although the snow had stopped temporarily, the cold wind was still blowing tightly. Coupled with the severe cold winter in the northern grasslands, the soldiers felt extremely cold. Many people had already started to tremble. Those who were injured and were even moaned. Obviously, the climate here made them very distressed.

So the soldiers finally stopped hesitating, picked up their knives and axes and walked towards the not-so-luxury trees on the mountain. They soon cut down all the trees that had already fallen leaves and turned bald, and then set up a fire with difficulty.

In a short while, the rolling smoke rose up on the mountain. Compared with that, the Guirong army at the foot of the mountain was much better. They were more adaptable to the cold weather of the grassland than the Central Plains Vietnamese army and were more prepared for related aspects. They were to set up a bonfire and were more vigorous, not to mention that they had a large number of cattle and sheep for food, which was much better than the Vietnamese soldiers who could only eat cold dry food on the mountain.

Both sides who temporarily stopped the battle are resting and energy storage. Perhaps after one side truly cultivates its spirit, a new round of battle will begin again.

Sun Bi stood at a high place and looked down at the movement of Gui Rongjun below, with a heavy expression. He didn't know when the soldiers on the mountain would be able to hold on to the next time.

"Prince..." A faint voice sounded from the back side, making Sun Bi look down quickly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Are you awake? How about it? Don't move, you have injuries on your body, you have just been bandaged..." As he spoke, he had already squatted down and pressed Xiao Chengzhi who was struggling to turn over and sit up.

It was not until this time that the emptyness and pain in the left forearm made Xiao Chengzhi notice his situation, and his already pale face turned pale again: "I..."

"Although you were injured, fortunately there were no other injuries. I believe you can recover soon and kill them to take revenge!" Sun Bi quickly interrupted and encouraged. He was really worried that his cousin would have bad thoughts because of his broken arm, which made him confused.

Xiao Chengzhi's reaction was a little beyond his expectations. Although he smiled miserably, he still said: "I have prepared to fight the enemy on the battlefield. Compared with Shuai Dong, I am already lucky."
